Server 2003 SBS and Winxp

I have a small SBS 2003 Stanard edition netwok at my business. 7 clients, 5
are running windows 2000 pro and 2 have Winxp pro with sp2. The problem
exixsted before SP2 . Anyway after about 8 or 9 hours of being logged on the
xp machines will lose the network connection. The 2000 machines have no
problem. I can't find an error log showing anything is wrong.
When I log off and back on to the network everthing is fine again.
I would appreciate any help

it could be the hardware settings issue. check this page for details,

Look in the device manger NIC settings
The setting "Let the OS shut down the NIC for power consumption"
